Go­ing Green: Green Club Await­ing Stu­dent Coun­cil Ap­proval

MISHAWAKA, IND. -- Next se­mes­ter there is a Green Club that will be start­ing up. The club has not of­fi­cially been ap­proved by Stu­dent Coun­cil yet, but the hope is that it will be ap­proved as soon as pos­si­ble and will be put in place at the be­gin­ning of next se­mes­ter.  

The pur­pose of the club will be to spread aware­ness of en­vi­ron­men­tal is­sues and to fur­ther the care of cre­ation specif­i­cally on Bethel’s cam­pus. The club’s ac­tiv­i­ties will in­clude pro­mot­ing en­vi­ron­men­tal care, hav­ing events on cam­pus to raise aware­ness of is­sue, and to fundraise for spe­cific goals the club will set.  

The Green Club’s mission statement is “to raise awareness of environmental issues and provide practical, easy and simple ways to implement creation care on Bethel’s campus”.   There are so many environmental issues in our world today and it would be a great thing for students on campus to be able to participate in helping spread awareness, prevent issues, and ultimately help take care of the world God has given us.   Rachel Woods, a student here at Bethel, is heading up this club along with Dr. Cassandra May, a professor in the science department. The club is open to anyone interested and they are hope that the club will continue to grow, along with environmental awareness here at Bethel.
